2189“I was teaching English in South Korea in a city called Daejeon and one of my sixth grade classes, the advanced kids, we always used to have a little bit of banter.

One day we were trading insults back and forth. One of my students came up with this insult, meaning it looked cheap and fake. Ever since then, all sixth grade boys in the school I worked in would, you know, use that quote on me.”

"I miss my students and their sassy insults. Some of them became quick as a whip in the year I taught them. Of that, I am very, very proud."
